Holy moly...who knew staying in a hospital would be so exhausting!! Just when the drs stop making their rounds, dietary comes with Coles food, then every 4 hours the nurse comes for vitals, every 6 hours she comes for his anti fungal medicine then every 8 hours for his antibiotics! Woah...it seems like even more once I write it out! So once we get settled in to either nap or sleep for the night, we get awaken once again :/.

2 days ago Cole was started on an anti fungal (flagyl) for c diff. It's a bacteria in his intestines that causes diaherr. Once his stools become more solid (sorry for the image lol) then they'll retest to see if it's still present!

The resident came in this morning & said that Coles hemoglobin level is at 7.6, but they need it to at least be at 8 so a transfusion it is :(. I hope this perks him up more...he's been a lot more sleepy today but I assume that's probably why.

Wow this week has definitely been one for the books. Bacteria infection in his blood, c diff in his stool and now low hemoglobin. Exciting right?! I beg to differ!

They're also keeping a close eye on Coles line. This line is much much bigger and it's still bleeding/discharging so they want to make sure it's healing correctly...yippee! (. I think my sarcasm has come out full fledge this past week!).

Little mans trying his hardest to crawl off the bench in the room so before we have to make an unexpected ER tri I better go!

Please please please continue praying!!
